Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Sarah Dessen, and praised as “an intense rush of rebellion and romance” by #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Garber, this romantic and layered Own Voices debut from Abigail Hing Wen is a dazzling, fun-filled romp.
“Our cousins have done this program,” Sophie whispers. “Best kept secret. Zero supervision.”
And just like that, Ever Wong’s summer takes an unexpected turn. Gone is Chien Tan, the strict educational program in Taiwan that Ever was expecting. In its place, she finds Loveboat: a summer-long free-for-all where hookups abound, adults turn a blind eye, snake-blood sake flows abundantly, and the nightlife runs nonstop.
But not every student is quite what they seem.

Wiener, a renowned Peruvian essayist, collects several pieces of her immersive "gonzo" journalism in the vein of Hunter S. Thompson and Joan Didion. She delves into subcultures, participating with swingers, sampling drug rituals and confronts her fear of death among other titilating subjects. Flat out cool, unabashed badass writing. So fun!
Underappreciated in her lifetime, Lucia Berlin's selected stories, A MANUAL FOR CLEANING WOMEN, displays the lucid eye of an American original. From blue collar settings in the American Southwest to her grandfather's dentist's office, Berlin seemingly tosses off words and sentences that serious readers will relish. An astonishing collection that introduces (or reminds) us of an important voice in American fiction.
A heartbreaking and honest collection about chronic mental illness and its effects on Wang. Through these essays Wang's mission is not to scare, shock, or make the reader feel sorry for her, but to create an environment where mental illness is better understood and destigmatized within our culture. An eye-opening collection of essays from a truly exceptional writer.
Deliciously disturbing, surreal, and stunning. The narrator, Abby, is simultaneously horrifying and relatable, slithering through seclusion, obsession, maina, and manipulation toward her inevitable destiny. This narrative is a stylistic and artistic marvel - it shimmers in its own peculiar darkness. Perfectly twisted.
This book was absolutely fantastic! A knock-out cast of diverse characters, a complex and layered world, and an ever increasing descent into chaos that left me breathless. Is it too bold to say that this series could be the next Throne of Glass? My only wish is that the second book was here already!

Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people –– the beauty within themselves.
